I make a quick trip to the Co-op this morning.  Although there's bright sunshine, it was a cold 19 DEGREES AT NOON WITH A WIND CHILL OF 5 ABOVE.  Believe me, it was a brisk walk.  But, you know what they say, it could be worse.

I could be living in Yakutsk, Siberia, a bustling city of 269,486 folks who are a lot hardier than I am.  Yakutsk is famous for being the COLDEST CITY ON EARTH.  Their average temperature during a very brief summer is 67 in July and the average temperature during a very long winter is 37 BELOW ZERO in January.  That's the Average!  Their temperature at noon today was 29 below with fog.

See?  I told you.  It could be worse.
